## 9. GAPS IN FUNCTIONALITY & RECOMMENDATIONS

### Critical Gaps

#### 1. **API Key Security ⚠️ CRITICAL**
**Issue:** API keys hardcoded in source and config files
**Risk:** Exposure in git history, logs, error messages
**Recommendation:**
```bash
1. Move all API keys to .env file (not in git)
2. Use environment variables only
3. Implement key rotation system
4. Add audit logging for key usage
5. Use secrets management (HashiCorp Vault, AWS Secrets Manager)
```

#### 2. **Authentication Missing ⚠️ CRITICAL**
**Issue:** No user authentication on dashboards or APIs
**Risk:** Unauthorized access to sensitive monitoring data
**Recommendation:**
```python
1. Implement JWT or OAuth2 authentication
2. Add user roles (admin, viewer, editor)
3. Implement API key generation for programmatic access
4. Add request signing with HMAC
5. Implement rate limiting per user
```

#### 3. **Database Backup ⚠️ HIGH**
**Issue:** No backup/restore procedures
**Risk:** Data loss if database corrupted
**Recommendation:**
```bash
1. Implement daily SQLite backups
2. Add backup rotation (keep 30 days)
3. Test restore procedures
4. Consider migration to PostgreSQL for production
5. Implement PITR (Point-in-Time Recovery)
```

### High Priority Gaps

#### 4. **Error Handling & Resilience**
**Current:** Basic error handling exists
**Needed:**
- Circuit breakers for flaky APIs
- Exponential backoff for retries
- Graceful degradation when APIs fail
- Dead letter queues for failed tasks

#### 5. **Performance Monitoring**
**Current:** Response times tracked
**Needed:**
- APM (Application Performance Monitoring)
- Distributed tracing
- Memory/CPU monitoring
- Database query analysis
- Slow query detection

#### 6. **Scalability**
**Current:** Single-instance SQLite
**Needed:**
- PostgreSQL for multi-instance support
- Redis caching layer
- Message queue (Celery, RabbitMQ)
- Horizontal scaling configuration
- Load balancer setup

#### 7. **Testing**
**Current:** Minimal testing
**Needed:**
```python
- Unit tests for collectors (80%+ coverage)
- Integration tests for APIs
- End-to-end tests for workflows
- Performance tests
- Security tests (OWASP)
- Load tests (k6, Locust)
```

#### 8. **Logging & Monitoring**
**Current:** JSON logging to files
**Needed:**
- Centralized log aggregation (ELK, Loki)
- Metrics export (Prometheus)
- Tracing (Jaeger)
- Alert routing (PagerDuty, Slack)
- SLA tracking

#### 9. **Documentation**
**Current:** Good README and docstrings
**Needed:**
- OpenAPI/Swagger spec generation
- Architecture decision records (ADRs)
- Runbook for common operations
- Troubleshooting guide
- SLA definitions

#### 10. **Data Quality**
**Current:** Basic validation
**Needed:**
- Schema validation on all incoming data
- Anomaly detection
- Data completeness checks
- Historical comparisons
- Quality scoring per source

## 13. SECURITY CONSIDERATIONS

### Current Security Posture

**Strengths:**
- ✅ No SQL injection (using ORM)
- ✅ No hardcoded credentials in environment
- ✅ CORS support configured
- ✅ Request validation (Pydantic)
- ✅ Health check endpoint secured
- ✅ Secrets handling (API key masking in logs)

**Weaknesses:**
- ❌ No authentication on APIs/dashboards
- ❌ No authorization checks
- ❌ API keys visible in config.py
- ❌ No rate limiting on HTTP endpoints
- ❌ No input sanitization on some fields
- ❌ No HTTPS enforcement
- ❌ No CSRF protection
- ❌ No SQL injection tests

### Recommendations for Hardening
1. Implement OAuth2/JWT authentication
2. Move API keys to .env (add to .gitignore)
3. Add rate limiting middleware (10 req/sec per IP)
4. Implement CORS properly (specific origins)
5. Add request signing with HMAC
6. Use HTTPS only in production
7. Implement audit logging
8. Regular security scanning (OWASP)
9. Dependency scanning (Snyk, Safety)
10. Security code review
